He was always an interesting fighter to me, one of the only competitive bodybuilders I know of to make a successful transition to MMA (by successful I mean making it to the UFC and getting a couple W's). Also that he is a fighter who is not against moving weight classes, he started his MMA career as a Heavyweight, then moved to LHW, then to middleweight, and his last fight he had he went back up to LHW.

I enjoyed his fighting style. It was cool watching him dominate some of his opponents with brute force and solid technique; hardly a recipe for success against the elite in his division, i know, but very entertaining.

He also narrow the gap between bodybuilder and MMA combatant, which is equally interesting.

... do you think that he is eyeing a return to the UFC?
He has not been beating top competitors, and his next fight is against a 4-5 guy.
Still, he is a fun fighter. It is rare that he goes to a decision.

Vemola is supposed to be fighting Piotr Strus (9-2) next Friday at the MMAA Arena 3 event in Czech Republic. Strus is no slouch, he's a KSW vet and he has wins over Matt Horwich and Krzystof Kulak. He's 2-2 in his last couple but whoever gets a win in this one will be getting signed somewhere at least in Europe.
